Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Suffolk who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
